Yesterdays Hero

• B

1976

B
When I walk down the street,
E
See the people who stop and stare and say
                                          F#
Haven't I seen that face somewhere a long time ago
B
When I walk down the street,
E
See the stranger who says, "Why, Hi,"
With a, "How you going, Buddy,"
                                    F#
When you walked on by I thought I'd say hello

Pre-chorus:

They say:
F#                         B
Haven't I seen your face before
F#                                         B
Weren't you the boy that used to live next door,
F#                              B
Weren't you on television ev'ry night
F#
Haven't I seen you round

Chorus:

B                                  F#
Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO,
            E                      B
YESTERDAY'S HERO, that's all we'll be.
B                                  F#
Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO,
                E                 B         F#
And YESTERDAY'S HERO, is all that I'm gonna be
E              F#
If I don't get together,
B          F#           E        F#
Make a new start and be somebody better,
E                                        B
All that I'll be if I don't get together now.

Verse:

B
When you walk down the street, now,
E
If you know me, then pass me by,
                                   F#
If you wonder what I'm doing don't ask me why,
I don't read the news~
B
When you walk down the street,
E
If you're sorry then don't feel bad, 
If you followed my story, then just be glad,
                F#
You ain't in my shoes

Pre-chorus:

Because,
F#                  B
Haven't you seen my face before,
F#                                       B
Yes, I was the boy who used to live next door,
F#                             B
Yes, I was on television ev'ry night,
F#
Haven't you seen me round.

Chorus:

B                                  F#
Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO,
            E                      B
YESTERDAY'S HERO, that's all we'll be.
B                                  F#
Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO,
                E                 B         F#
And YESTERDAY'S HERO, is all that I'm gonna be
E              F#
If I don't get together,
B          F#           E        F#
Make a new start and be somebody better,
E                                        B
All that I'll be if I don't get together now.
